parra does so much damage and makes everyone go zoom its great. And I used slagg to get the most damage in one battle. For nessa think of hatching and mamu think of some t3 building. Normally it should save? Im not tech support or anything but check if the "Clear cookies when you close your browser" setting is on
Thank you! Are you playing on a browser that deletes the cache/cookies every session?
Mamu: Requires a Tier 3 Nest in the village, you need to do something you wouldn't normally do. Its tangentially related to cold. You will know if you did the right thing as soon as you go to the team select screen.
Nessa: Requires a specific egg from egg sense. Is related to birds. You need to take it to a specific non-random tile thats tangentially related to warmth and choose an option that would take some time. Cannot be done in zone 1 but does not require endless mode.
Let me know if you need any more! Theyre very obtuse to get.
Got a terrible 5:12 that, despite being the new WR, consisted of many errors and gameplay errors on my part. I was definitely unprepared for the crazy potential of this run after grinding for so long. (Observe the 1000+ run counter, over 700 more restarts compared to the last record)
Astute viewers may notice a new starting team composition! Although it's definitely not worth the grind, bloodmist mask on skimander can deal insane damage when picked up early.
Might take a break for a while, but I hope someone can have a more optimized run. Good luck!
See this is why I was doing some practice runs first just to warm up. Just getting the mask is a big step tbf. And even with your old comp you would have had to reroll hundreds of times anyway to get a better start than bloodmist zone 1!
Ive known for a few days that soon as you got a harvester zone one it would all be over. Were you at all nervous when you got it and realized if you didn't choke, this would shatter your pb? I know I would be.
Yeah, as soon as I saw it I knew it was going to be at least a very good sub 6 run if I didn't choke, the pressure was on so I made sure to play a little safer because of the huge time save buffer that the harvester gave.
The stolen artifacts event? I usually take the potions there for the percentage boosts for the boss fight but I can see how a guaranteed rare weapon would be super strong there.
Hey guys there's been an influx bot scam posts trying to link fake updates in the comments. Never click anything, updates will only happen on the main page I'd never post links to updates somewhere else. Always check who is posting. I'm banning and deleting them as I catch them.
This is a bug that will be fixed in the big update but for the time being, it is avoidable by making sure seras isnt the closest target to facelesses at the start of battle (or beat them before they can cast)
Villageless forces me to reroll shops to get stick effigy, did Calm because Calm/Lull gives an extra wound for a single monster, making it easier to get to a shop without dying in the first few stages. Probably going to try to improve this time first before grinding Balanced. Also I didn't use my super fast enough in the boss fight, what a time loss 😓.
you could have saved 15 seconds minimum if you used your super around 5:11-5;14. Gl on balanced im really excited to see how you do on the same playing field as me. (Also please humor us and dont use stick effigy) this is a much stronger test of your starting comp and pathfinding
Same playing field hmmm...once I figure out the timing on using the super maybe, it seems to be pretty precise. Honestly I feel like mechanics like moving items and navigating shops is as big of a determinant as luck, with my pathfinding mainly being "click on paths with less enemies".
its luck based for sure but at least you don't have to re roll 10 times to eve start your run. I promise in 10 runs the stars will align and you will get good rng and a solid speedrun. That being said in this category rng is arguably less important than the best starting team comp (which I wont tell you). Also don't think of pathfinding as being as simple as choosing the path with the least enemies. When you are trying to evolve both your mons during the run you need to make sure you find the most efficient way to get all of the shards while also minimizing hard fights. You'll need to look through the entire map and make a path quickly or else you lose time but not too quickly or you miss things. Also seras got a 6:33 by getting a harvester (+50 str need I go on??) in the very beginning of the game but my comp was better than him so despite worse rng my run was only 6 seconds behind his.
Got the sub 5 minutes I was looking for in this category. Super didn't even charge fully by the end of the fight, so there's some time loss there. Maybe I'll come back to get somewhere around a 4:45 eventually, there's so many possible combinations of speedrunning categories lol. Stay tuned for tomorrow 👀
Took me way too long to get this time, had many runs die to the final bosses. Maybe I need a more optimal team composition, but I can only reasonably reroll eggs while overlapping evolution transitions in the final nest, meaning at least one monster is extremely RNG based. I don't normally play calamity, maybe there's some final boss strategies I don't know about?
Anyways probably Balanced villageless stick effigy next, if I ever get around to it.
P.S. What's the requirements for villageless? Is "villageless" actually counted as "level 2 nest only, no starting duplicates"? Or is it purely no buildings?
nest is allowed but no other buildings. My favorite combo is tizik skimander. tizik makes skimander attack super fast and adaptable makes skimander deal more damage the faster it is than the enemy its attacking (I assume you can see why this is broken). Also another REALLY important tech is to try and use your super RIGHT BEFORE the enemy boss uses their super. This is not too difficult with such high DPS and stops the enemy super animation which saves a lot of time and my 6:39 and my friends 6:33 both use it. I havent tried this strat vs the calamity boss, I imagine its even more precise bc of the extra hp but ill go home and gove it a try
Definitely could've been sub 5, I made some mistakes. Wasn't expecting a run this good after only a couple of restarts. Also absolutely sold with the mesmerizing orb on tuskal 😭
Did a screen recording and uploaded it to YouTube, the fps is pretty bad though. The run mostly speaks for itself, luckiest thing was getting that bloodmist mask.
That's a really optimized run. You really have movement down. The only thing I feel you could save a few seconds on tho that shop at the beginning. figuring out whether you can afford a single steelskin potion there is not worth 5 seconds. Just immediately skip that shop and wait to buy things when you have a bunch of aura and don't need to use your brain
Yeah, touchscreen makes things way easier in terms of movement (although I've lost some runs trying to lock an egg during a transition and it just hatching).
For the shop thing, I will say that there was only one shop that showed up in the map for the entirety of acts 2 and 3 and I would've had only a little more aura if I went there (admittedly, after spending 750 on the fusion), with the cost being that the extra common items from the forge cause an overflow of items at the bottom which is a minor inconvenience. I agree it's probably better to wait for an act 3 shop in general though.
now that you have destroyed vm speedrunning. I suggest you take a look at the really funny things people have done in endless. Just say anything on discord and I can show you some mind blowing images including but not limited to getting 50000 hp on a single monster, healing billions of HP and dealing billions of damage in one battle, getting 500 rip stacks on an enemy at the same time and stunning voss so much it only attacked once.
I wouldn't say completely destroyed lol, there's still the normal balanced villageless stick effigy less and other stuff that seems like they'd be different speedrunning categories. Yeah I'm in the discord already, saw a bunch of those clips/screenshots the other day (idk how, I think I was scrolling through messages related to the keyword "speedrun" xD). Not sure endless is for me but some of those records are really incredible.
thats crazy fast, really smart doing the locks during combat too. Also bloodmist heart of the ocean, all the max speeds lol. is the games framerate that low or just the recording?
The framerate's likely just bad because of it being a screen recording uploaded to YouTube, it's not that laggy in real time. Yeah I thought of the lock thing because I didn't want the inventory to overflow, even though I never did end up getting a second shop. Heart of the ocean is probably my favorite rare equipment ❤
you want to know something really funny? i believe that going turmoil could be even better because it gives the enemies small stat boosts. It shouldnt matter vs the boss but it will probably matter when the enemies are trying to kill pyris. Might be the difference between taking 2 hits vs 1! Cant go calamity bc picking wounds at the beginning wastes time
Turmoil only gives max HP increases to the enemies, it's only at calamity where they gain str and int boosts. 15% increase to health is a lot though... for the final boss it might outweigh the potential for taking fewer hits throughout the run, especially if it requires 3 monsters instead of 2 to defeat. Might even be a signficant alternate category for speedrunning 🤔.
1 hr of attempts, done with 4 forges to reroll for stick effigy faster, and using partial hatching/evolution skip. Had some sub 5s but kept getting aurite instead of an egg for a third monster by accident and then just dying to the final bosses. Maybe I'll record some runs. (also the fullscreen is indeed broken lol)

this game is fire but it doesn't save?
maybe it's just because i'm on browser but can you fix that?
Other then that it's great.
I love just love parra and also slagg is really fun to use
Can I have some hints (however small) on how to get mamu and nessa?
parra does so much damage and makes everyone go zoom its great. And I used slagg to get the most damage in one battle. For nessa think of hatching and mamu think of some t3 building.

5:17 Balanced Villageless! And they said it couldn't be done... 🥳
Over a minute faster than anyone else's balanced villageless runs lol
Ive known for a few days that soon as you got a harvester zone one it would all be over. Were you at all nervous when you got it and realized if you didn't choke, this would shatter your pb? I know I would be.

crazy fast, well done!
6:09! Although I recorded it this time, it's slower than the other one...
Absolutely insane sub 6 video coming tomorrow 👀
crazy fast, im surprised you didnt grab a weapon from the zone 3 armory event for Strig tho at that point it was basically over already lol
The stolen artifacts event? I usually take the potions there for the percentage boosts for the boss fight but I can see how a guaranteed rare weapon would be super strong there.

Energy Charm, Mudgill, and a whole lotta Maginuts (preferably from camp-cooking)...
and bam, you got yourself infinite DPS!!!!!
shark machine gun!
forgot to hit record 😓
sub 6 is getting nearer...
Strigeye butterfly has [STR] in their name, so the text becomes red.
I doubt this is intended text parsing behavior.
its not but its been taken care of for the next update!
I got an error when Faceless copied Hydra Seras' ability
This is a bug that will be fixed in the big update but for the time being, it is avoidable by making sure seras isnt the closest target to facelesses at the start of battle (or beat them before they can cast)
6:12 Balanced Villageless!
This was maybe my second attempt yesterday but I wanted to wait to reveal it. Happy Halloween!new record? O:

P.S. Thanks for the tips in the comments!
wow you read what I said. You'll get a sub 5 I believe.
Thanks! If only I had read what you said earlier about doing control plus twice to fix the fullscreen before getting the 4:30. 🤦♂️
yeah a lot of ppl have complained about that but imo if a problem goes away after I press 2 buttons on my cpu its not that big a deal
